Wired Faculty App

A  particle of mass m is released from rest and follows a parabolic path is shown. Assuming that the displacement of the mass from the origin is small, which graph correctly depicts the position of the particle as a function of time?

Answer

D.

Potential V (x) versus x is parabolic, SHM starts from an extreme position and x versus t should be a cosin curve.
